Quality hire for Stevenson with Former Goucher HC.
Whats quality about the hire? The coach won an average of 5-6 games a year at Goucher and never went to postseason play. Not saying they won't succeed but was that the best candidate?
I have to admit, he has a point! But let's be real about this situation...the women's coach takes over as Dir of Soccer, so he will be overseeing both programs. The women have been much, much more successful then the men. No question, he will continue to have his hand in the women's program....they just needed a coach willing to be micromanaged! The candidate pool was probably very good, but once you got a whiff of how the operation would be run....NO THANKS!
You also have to consider where the program came from. The program at Goucher when she got there couldn't field eleven players for games and now they are at least consistently competing for a spot in the conference playoffs (although they've yet to break through). Sure eventually you'd like to see more success but between the state of the program she received and the difficulties recruiting at that school, you can make an argument she did well there.
